In a fresh development, it’s not a small purchase (even on sale), but for the right setup, the size-to-price ratio here is too good to ignore. Samsung’s 49-inch Odyssey G9 is down to $664.99 from $999.99, the best price we’ve seen for this massive monitor.
The report highlights that you’re getting a 49-inch, 1000R curved display with Dual QHD resolution. That’s two QHD monitors fused together into one seamless panel. That curve, which wraps around your field of view, makes your platform releases feel more immersive. It also boasts a 240Hz refresh rate and a 1ms (GtG) response time, which keeps fast action scenes looking smooth and sharp, with minimal blur or ghosting during quick movement. The screen is the whole story here.
The report highlights that with both PBP and PIP, you can view two sources at once, keeping a video call or stream running beside your system update. Since gamers sometimes need to check in on work or other projects, this monitor includes multitasking-friendly functions.
Industry observers note that if you’ve got a shallow desk, it may simply be too large for your setup. It also requires a lot of power from your graphics card to run that resolution at high frame rates, so if you have a more modest tech industry setup, you may want to consider a smaller display. One thing you’ll have to keep in mind is the size.
According to the latest update, at $664.99, this is an easy pick if you have the desk space, the GPU, and want a fully immersive tech industry setup.
